A chair made of 2x4 spruce

I wanted to see if I could build a parsons type chair out of a 2x4. I did and here is the result.

The back legs are not straight. I cut them to the seat at about a 15 degree angle and the back I let run straight from there. I ripped the rest of the 2x4 to make the back slats and seat slats and the braces. It is not much to look at but I never attempted a chair like this before. I just kind of sketch things out and see how it goes. It sits level and I will paint it, eventually.

I would change the slat spacing on the seat and the band for the seat. I think the back looks fine. the leg bracing is quite adequate. I did some air nails, glue and sheet rock screws.
